Tackling climate change is one of the biggest challenges of the modern world. As buildings are now the main consumer of energy and this trend will continue in the future, this challenge is primarily faced by the construction industry. In order to avoid a global climate catastrophe, it is necessary to implement innovations in the implementation of RES solutions for buildings. Three-pane windows and wall insulation are no longer sufficient.
Are we in for a revolution in architecture?
Governments around the world are increasingly recognizing the potential of investing in green energy technologies for new and existing buildings and see it as an opportunity to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets. An ideal answer to the demand for modern green building, as well as a dedicated solution for retrofitting existing, energy inefficient buildings, is BIPV technology.

Energy-producing buildings
BIPV (eng. Building Integrated Photovoltaics) is a comprehensive building-integrated photovoltaics solution that is a substitute for traditional building materials. BIPV elements can be used not only as an aesthetically pleasing element of a structure, but most importantly as a source of free electricity obtained from the sun. ML System has specialized in the production of personalized solar power solutions for more than 15 years. We offer a wide range of customized products, available in any size, shape, color, with customized power output. BIPV solutions not only produce clean energy, but also improve thermal insulation and provide an attractive visual complement to the structure, thus increasing the prestige of the building. BIPV products are the only building material on the market that guarantees a return on investment (compared to non-refundable traditional solutions).

Green energy in architecture
If we want to realistically talk about conscious design, it cannot take place without introducing renewable energy sources. Traditional photovoltaic installations are often perceived as an unsightly addition to an existing building. BIPV solutions perfectly replace traditional building materials. They are extremely durable, and stand out with colors and forms adapted to the concept of the building. The combination of ecology and aesthetics, economy and prestige, modernity and rationality - all this we can call a revolution in architecture. A revolution necessary in the process of the necessary energy transition. Combining the forces of architects, manufacturers and general contractors will greatly accelerate the effects of this transformation, and thus ensure a secure future for future generations.
